SYMPTOM : BAROQUE

The splendidly furnished baroque residence of Schloss Eutin in Schleswig-Holstein is experienced in a completely new way in summer 2023. Four international contemporary artists intervened with their works in the rooms of the castle and referred – also critically and ironically – to its contents. For some years, the artists have been dealing with the thematic repertoire and aesthetics of the Baroque, which they see mirrored in world-political as well as cultural phenomena of our own time: through friction between rationality and highly individualistic beliefs as well as through increasingly present end-time fantasies that lead to disruptions within society and its cohesion. Curator: Dr. Sophie Borges.
